Senior C++ Software Developer - Artificial Intelligence and Military Simulation

US Citizens only. This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a SECRET security clearance.

Company Overview

STILMAN Advanced Strategies develops software based on Linguistic Geometry (LG), a unique Artificial Intelligence approach. Our core technology generates predictive, tactically correct Courses of Action (COAs) that dynamically adapt in response to changes in missions and actions taken by the intelligent opposition. These tools support mission planning, rehearsal, training and execution use cases for military commanders across echelons and services. Our applications have been shown to deliver unique value to the warfighter due to the quality of generated COAs, User Experience/User Interface (UX/UI) design that makes it easy to fully comprehend complex COA results and to define mission inputs, as well as ease of deployment and integration with other systems with well-defined modern Application Program Interfaces (APIs).

Our small, distributed team has been developing and continually improving these software applications since 1999. We pride ourselves on the quality of our software, and we are excited as we continue this development with the US Marine Corps, US Navy, US Army, US Missile Defense Agency, and other government organizations to further enhance, integrate, and deploy these products.

The Role

We are looking to bring on one or more additional C++ developers to work on our primary back end applications that include custom Artificial Intelligence engine, military modeling and simulation framework, and integration capabilities for our own front end and third party systems. This system leverages a range of communication protocols, complex data structures and algorithms, GIS & geometric concepts, and high performance optimizations to support a growing range of use cases. You will be expanding our core AI and M&S frameworks to support new domains (from ground forces to ballistic missiles), use cases (from analysis to real-time wargaming), fidelity of modeling of real world environments and entities, and AI-enabled tactics generation. You will also be integrating our software with other M&S systems, military C2 and Intelligence systems, and supporting varied computing environments (from containers in the cloud to embedded computer in a combat vehicle).

You will take part in the design of new features or redesigning existing ones based on customer needs and feedback, implementation of the software changes using C++ with an enduring focus on performance and optimization, model military concepts in software, work closely with front end software developers on APIs, data representation and protocols, as well as work with third party software developers to find user-centric ways to integrate our systems.

The Team

We are a small team that's distributed throughout United States and work 100% remote, with some possible travel to customer sites. The software developers are self-motivated and able to work independently, but collaborate closely as a team to leverage individual strengths for the purpose of achieving common objectives. All aspects of our work are collaborative rather than stove piped into narrowly defined roles in order to facilitate transparency, streamlined communications, and shared understanding.

Benefits

We offer an attractive compensation package including competitive salaries, bonuses, medical and dental coverage, flexible schedule & PTO, and tuition assistance.
